  • @MrJoeydano cool!!!!!!

  • Watching this video I can see why she became such a huge star. She isn't the world's greatest beauty, nor it's greatest talent, but she has personality and charisma that just shines through!

  • @GamesR4FITE Oh, and her sister was considered the prettiest of those two, which doesn't mean that she's ugly in general, just compared to her sister (June Havoc).

    Not my opinion by the way, just what I know.

  • @GamesR4FITE Actually, she stumbled upon it when she was 15 and working at a bourlesque club. The star of the show wasn't able to perform and her mother volunteered Gypsy to be the main act. The difference between the stars and ordinary dancers was that the star appeared nude or stripped. Gypsy, 15 at that time, didn't strip as was expected, she hardly undressed herself. But because of good crowd response she stuck with the act: the above is about 19 years later.

  • She is striking and intelligent and very witty. It seems you had to have a modicum of talent to be a stripper (fan dancer) back then. What an amazing woman.

  • I always heard "she had to strip because she wasn't attractive," but she looks beautiful to me...

  • She is just adorable!

  • Oh how innocent this world used to be.

  • Apparently my grandfather once fixed a watch for her.

  • aww that was incredible thanks for post.. bless her
